Video and Lyrics - Wave of Sorrow - U2
A year ago in this blog: Marge Simpson and QuagmireWave of Sorrow
by U2
from the album - U2 The Joshua Tree Remaster (20th Anniversary Edition) - Nov 2007
Heat haze rising
On hell's own hill
You wake up this morning
It took an act of will
You walk through the night
To get here today
To bring your children
To give them away
Oh ... oh this cruel sun
Is daylight never done
Cruelty just begun
To make a shadow of everyone
[Waves of Sorrow on http://barrel.toolzoft.com]
And if the rain came
And if the rain came
Souls bent over without a breeze
Blankets on burning trees
I am sick without disease
Nobility on it's knees
And if the rain came
And if the rain came now ...
Would it wash us all away
On a wave of sorrow
Wave
On a wave of sorrow
Where now the holy cities?
Where the ancient holy Scrolls?
Where now Emperor Menelek?
And the Queen of Sheba's gold
You're my bride, you wear her crown
And on your finger precious stones
As every good thing now been sold
They are, of Shepherd boy, now king
What wisdom can you bring?
What lyric would you sing?
Where is the music of the Seraphim?
And if the rain came
And if the rain came now ...
Would it wash us all away
On a wave of sorrow
Wave
A wave of sorrow
Wave.
Blessed are the Meek who scratch in the dirt
For they shall inherit what's left of the earth
Blessed are the kings left their who've Throne
They are buried in this valley of dry bones
Blessed all of you with an empty heart
For you got nothing from which you can not part
Blessed is the ego
It's all we got this hour
Blessed is the voice that speaks truth to power
Blessed is the sex worker who sold her body tonight
She used what she got
To save her children's life
Blessed are you, the deaf can not hear a scream
Blessed are the stupid who can dream
Blessed are the tin canned cardboard slums
Blessed is the spirit that Overcome

U2 "Surge of pain" letter
The haze is lifted
In the hill of hell
You wake up this morning
An act of will
Walking through the night
To be here today
To bring your children
For traicionarlos
Oh ... oh this cruel sun
It's daylight never done
Cruelty that is just beginning
To make shade for all
And if the rain came
And if the rain came
The souls were inclined without a breeze
Layers of trees burning
I'm sick without disease
Nobility on their knees
... ... ..
And if the rain came
And if the rain came now ...
We take away all
In a wave of sorrow
Surge
In a wave of sorrow
Where are now the holy cities?
Where are the ancient holy scrolls?
Where is now the Emperor Menelek?
And the gold of the Queen of Sheba
You are my bride, wearing her crown
And on your finger precious stones
As every good thing has now been sold
Son, pastor of the boy, now king
What wisdom can you bring?
What letter sing?
Where is the music of Serafin?
And if the rain came
And if the rain came now ...
We take away all
In a wave of sorrow
Surge
A wave of sorrow
Wave.
The blessed are the meek who are scratches in the dirt
They will inherit what is left of the earth
Blessed are the kings who have left their thrones
They are buried in this valley of dry bones
Blessed all who have an empty heart
For you do not get anything that you can not separate
The blessing is the ego
That's all we get in this hour
Blessed is the voice that speaks truth to power
Blessed is the "sex worker" who sold her body tonight
She used what I had
To save the lives of their children
Blessed are you, that the deaf can not hear a scream
Blessed are the stupid who can dream
Blessed are the slums of the townships
Blessed is the spirit that is passed
